CAMPAIGN TRAILS
Texas GOP Hits
LBJ-TY Station
Barry Goldwater’s Texas cam
paign headquarters said Wednes
day Austin Television Station
KTBC TV, owned by President
Johnson’s family, has refused to
air two of the Arizona senator’s
political broadcasts.
Station officials immediately de
nied the accusation.
President Lyndon B. Johnson
said Wednesday momentous events
in the Soviet Union and China have
made it certain the immense pow
er of America “cannot be put in
the hands of those who might use
it impulsively or carelessly.”
The Republican presidential can
didate Arizona Sen. Barry Gold-
cate Arizona Sen. Barry Gold-
water—on the campaign trail and
on nationwide television—accused
President Johnson Wednesday of
embracing policies that have stif
fened the Communist threat to the
free world.
Rep. William E. Miller press
ed a strong attack Wednesday
night on President Johnson, de
claring that “the cloud of suspicion
over the White House” is growing
steadily darker.
Miller linked Johnson’s name
with those of Walter W. Jenkins,
Bobby Baker and Billie Sol Estes
in denoucning a “cover-up of cor
ruption so deep that it casts a
shadow over the White House it
self.”
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of
Minnesota declared Wednesday the
voters will decide 13 days from
now whether “a small faction of
political extremists will hold the
destiny of the United States in
their inexperienced, fumbling
hands.”
Residents of Bryan-College Sta
tion, as well as A&M University
Students and faculty, have been
invited to the United Nations Club
meeting at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the
YMCA Building, Kamal El-Zik,
president of the international stu
dent organization, announced.
A short business meeting and a
social hour with refreshments will
follow a panel discussion of “The
Role of the United Nations.” Dr.
J. M. Nance, head of the Depart
ment of History and Government
will be panel moderator.
Student panel members will in
clude Issam Bousaid, Arab; Pao-
Shan Weng, Chinese; Chandra B.

Robert St. John, noted writer and
traveler, will speak at 8 p.m.
Thursday in the Memorial Student
Center Ballroom.
“What next in the Middle East?”
will be the subject of the second
talk presented by the Great Is
sues Committee.
The speaker has traveled more
than two million miles and visited
in 60 countries in the past 25 years.
St. John has written 14 books,
among these biographies of Ben-
Gurion and Nassar. He is author
of “Foreign Correspondent,” a
story of Southeastern Europe.
Ben-Gurion’s biography has gone
through nine editions and has been
translated into eight foreign lan
guages. In 1961, St. John rewrote
the book for children calling it
“Builder of Israel.”
Because of his intimate know
ledge of Israel, St. John was com
missioned by Life Magazine in
1962 to write the definitive volume
in its Life World Library on the
history, geography and future of
Israel.
St. John’s first book, “From the
Land of the Silent People,” was
published in 1942 and incorporated
his early war experiences in Eur
ope as a correspondent for the As
sociated Press. Called by one New
York critic “the best book to come
out of Wirld War II,” it was re
cently reprinted in England.
In 1947 St. John returned to
Europe and wrote a sequel to his
first book, called “The Silent Peo
ple Speak,” which predicted the
break between Tito and Stalin.
“Through Malan’s Africa,” a
book recounting experiences St.
John had during a year in the
Union of South Africa, appeared in
1954. Four thousand copies of this
book were seized by the South Afri
can government and remained un
der lock and key for nearly two
years.
An experienced lecturer, St. John
has divided his time in recent years
between gathering stories abroad
and one-night talks in America.

Moghrabi said.
El-Zik, an Egyptian, and the
other club officers will serve Fri
day night at the first meeting since
their election. Other officers in
clude Iqbal Akhtar of Pakistan,

Bill Henderson said about 30,000
are expected to attend the Bear-
Aggie duel.
“Despite team records,” Hender

Dubois has won worldwire rec
ognition as the foremost English
language reporter of Latin-Amer-

A&M’s last trip to Waco result
